Chris Benoit also known as the rabid wolverine was known for his passionate wrestling & his submission hold - The crippler crossface !!! Chris Benoit had achieved many victories in the past in his long career at WCW followed by WWE !!!
Benoit was scheduled to perform at the "Vengeance" pay-per-view event Sunday night in Houston, but was replaced at the last minute because of what announcer Jim Ross called "personal reasons."
Benoit, a Canadian native, maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the defunct World Championship Wrestling.
The WWE canceled its live "Monday Night RAW" card in Corpus Christi, Texas, and USA Network aired a three-hour tribute to Benoit in place of the scheduled wrestling telecast.
